Monthly High Yield Shares Researched By "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". High yield investing is popular especially just before the next dividend payout. In order to receive the next dividend, investors must take a look at the ex-dividend date. If you own a share or fund before this day, you will receive the next dividend. I screened interesting high yielding stocks going ex-dividend within the next month - December 2012. As result, we found 81 stocks with an average dividend yield of 6.51 percent. Twelve stocks have a double-digit yield and forty a buy or better recommendation. [more]

New Breakout Stocks By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Sometimes it makes sense to observe stocks with an ongoing sell-off. The background is to find stocks with a possible turnaround story and to bet on a strong bull race. Oversold stocks are often traded at new lows but they could recover in a fast way. If the company pays stable dividends, it should increase the expected total return for an investor. However, here is a current screen of best yielding stocks that are close to their 52-Week Lows (up to 3 percent). In order to eliminate stocks with higher risk, I screened only companies with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion. As a result, 12 stocks are near to their 52-Week Lows of which six have a yield over three percent and five are recommended to buy. [more]

In order to find the answer, I run a screen of stocks with more than 10 consecutive years of dividend growth and sorted them by the highest recommendation.

If you own an investment and it starts to grow by double-digit rates over a few years, when the stock price explode and you feel like a bird in heaven. I felt a few times like this.

Dividend Challengers With High Growth And Buy Rating. Originally Published At "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". I like dividend growth stocks in the second and third range because they are often not in focus of many mainstream investors and they are often much cheaper than dividend growth stocks from the Dow Jones (e.g. Johnson and Johnson). The third class of dividend growth stocks is the Dividend Challengers class. Those stocks raised dividends over a period of more than five consecutive years but less than 10 years. One day they could become a big dividend hero like Coca Cola or Procter and Gamble. But which stocks should we buy now? [more]

They are well diversified and generate ideally more than 50 percent of their revenues outside the United States. I think about companies like Procter and Gamble or Colgate. Other stocks are PepsiCo and Coca Cola. They all raised dividends over a very long period and helped to boost my dividend income. Let's take a look into the sector and hunt for some bargains. [more]
